The Driver Sees A Bloodied 5-Year-Old Waving. As He Gets Closer His Stomach Is Churning.

It was a sunny summer day when Angela Shymanski was driving back home from the Canadian town of Prince George with her children Lexi and Peter. The swimming instructor is exhausted: her energetic 5-year-old and newborn baby require all the energy she has. For just a second, the mother of two dozes off. But this one second produces truly terrible consequences.

Out of control, the car careens off the road, diving off a 12 meter cliff and crashing into a tree. When little Lexi opens her eyes, she only has a few scratches. She hears her 3-month-old brother wailing. Her mother is unconscious, behind the steering wheel. At the bottom of this steep cliff, no one can see the family - death seems certain. But then the 5-year-old does the incredible.

Lexi drags herself out of the wreckage and climbs up the steep and rocky cliff face! Once she arrives at the road, she waves down a car to get help. When the paramedics and firefighters arrive, they need a rope to reach the completely destroyed car. Yet the little girl scaled the precipe barefoot. The mother and her children are then evacuated by helicopter to the closest hospital.
